CURTAIN-BRACKET.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW E. KYLLo- NEN, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Monessen, in the county of Westmoreland andState of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Curtain-Brackets, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing. 7

This invention relates to a curtain pole bracket, and the primary objectof my in vention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device that canbe easily and quickly clamped in engagement with a window frame forsupporting a curtain pole relatively to the frame, without resorting tothe use of nails, screws or other devices that would be injurious andmar the exposed surface of a window frame.

A further object of this invention is to provide a strong and durablecurtain pole bracket consisting of comparatively few parts that can beeasily and quickly assembled upon a window frame to firmly support acurtain pole.

I attain the above objects by a mechanical construction that willbehereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and referones willnow be had to the drawing, where- 1n:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the bracket'as applied to a windowframe, and Fig. 2 is'a perspective View of a portion of the bracket.

A bracket in accordance with this invention is made of two pieces ofstrong and rigid wire and one part of the bracket is substantiallyL-shaped and comprises two arms 1 and 2 having hook shaped ends 3 and 4respectively. In bending the piece of wire to form these arms, an eye 5is formed at the juncture of said arms and the hook shaped ends of saidarms are adapted to engage the upper and lower edges of the rail 6forming the top of a win- Specification of Letters Patent.

do-w frame 7. The hook shaped end 3 of the arm 1 extends into the upperedge of the rail 6 and the hook shaped end 4: of the arm 2 extends intothe lower edge of said rail, whereby the arms 1 and 2 will be held infront of the rail 6 with the eye 5 at a point approximately intermediatethe edges of the window frame.

The other part of the bracket it made of a single piece of strong andrigid wire and comprises an angle member adapted to extend through theeye 5 carried by the arms 1 and 2. One end of the member 8 terminates ina hook 9 adapted toengage in the outer edge of the window frame and theopposite end of the member 8 terminates in a U-shaped support 10 adaptedto receive the end of a curtain pole 11.

The arms 1 and 2 cooperate with the member 8 in supporting the support10 a desired distance from the window frame 7 and at such an angle thatthe pole 11 can be supported in position to accommodate curtains,draperies and portieres. With the two part bracket in position, thecurtain pole 11 can be safely supported and the same results obtainedjust as though an eX- pensive fixture was used.

What I claim is A curtain pole bracket comprising arms having hookshaped ends adapted to engage in the edges of a frame, an integral eyeat the juncture of said arm, and an angle member extending'through theeye of said arm and having one end thereof hook shaped to engage in theedge of a window frame and the opposite end thereof provided with aU-shaped support adapted to hold'an end of a curtain pole.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
